Mary Steratore

Follow Your Heart

Discover the fortitude to seize opportunities and take control of your destiny with Mary Steratore's encouraging charm necklace. Handcrafted out of sterling silver and embellished with gold vermeil medallions, her necklace embodies the phrase "Don't lose hope when the sun goes down, the stars will come out." A sweet gilded star captures the sentiment beautifully; the droplet of glittering rock crystal is known as the master healer and turns negative energy to positive; and the center rectangular pendant is stamped with a lotus flower, an enduring symbol of strength. Handmade in Thailand and India.

It can be daunting trading one career for another, especially when there are PhDs involved. But for Mary Steratore, such a change led to the realization of true artistic expression. Leaving archaeology to create her own fine art, Steratore settled in Rome, where her paintings and sculptures were well-received. After showing her work throughout Italy and the US, she developed a new line of jewelry inspired by her sculpture.

This was a gift from a sister during my recovery from cancer surgery. I loved the significance of the charms and wore it 24/7 from when I received it 8 months ago until the chain broke last night. All of the charms were gone when I made the discovery so I will have to get a new one because I can't see myself not having it on all the time.

Workmanship was poor. Although the necklace was a good length it had a link in the chain that did not even match. It also did not lay well on the skin.

Was this a gift?:

No

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I purchased this necklace for my mom for her birthday and it was absolutely perfect! I love the necklace and the meaning behind it. It was so much more beautiful in person than in the picture. Really unique and something she can wear every day. I would purchase from this designer again as the quality is absolutely amazing.

I recently lost my husband suddenly, so when I was flipping through the catalog and saw this necklace I knew that I had to have it. It not only looks pretty but knowing the meaning behind it makes it that much more precious. I wear it everyday and will continue to do so.Thank you.
